Neil Crompton

I see ANB has been appointed one of four vice captains at the Crows. Respect.

Not on form you haven't

I have absolutely no idea what you just said - is it just that I'm getting old?

Agree on Oliver - he is his own worst enemy with the umpires unfortunately.

Is it really a coincidence that we have both Harvey Langford and Lego onboard this year?

I read where Sestan was impressive off half back in the two’s. Is he a chance for a run next week to take AMW’s spot? I’d certainly like to see him given a shot.

I hope every one of our “possible” players have blinders today to make our selectors job for round 1 as difficult as possible. Really looking forward to seeing them perform.

I’m worried for the snake.

ffs

I thought he was referring to George Gawn

I don’t read your posts - er, except this one.

Do you mean Roy George and not Mentha?

A chink is a narrow opening; or a horrible ethnic slur - I hope that’s not what you meant.

thank you.

Could Kossy just be playing with the media?

That’s the company line - I hear it’s really a serious mental health issue, unfortunately. Get well soonest @Ghostwriter

Wasn’t Oscar “Porterhouse” and TMac TBone?

I thought he should of been nicknamed “Crowded”

I luv Clarry, but he had a shocking year last year by his standards, there can be no denying that. With his hand injury and his lack of pre-season, he was often a liability, rather than what we are all used to. So much so, that I couldn't understand why he wasn't rested to heal his hand. Long bow, but maybe if we had rested him, he may not have suffered the knee issue or the broken ribs and therefore been able to come back once the hand was right and see out the season playing more to his usual standard. Who knows, with Clarry firing again, we have even made the finals. Some have said that we didn't rest him because we didn't have a suitable replacement (as if anyone could adequately replace Clarry!). However, players like Laurie would have welcomed the chance to prove himself by playing a string of games in his absence. The only other reason i can imagine for not resting him was that management were perhaps concerned Clarry might lapse back into bad habits if not fully involved in the team. We may never know, but so glad he appears to be fit and firing this pre-season.

haha Pot / Kettle / Black

I wouldn’t have thought that there would be too many posters on here who didn’t know who “chin” or “disco” were. We’ve all made the effort, though constant reading of posts, to learn the nicknames of the players. Our track reporters don’t need criticism for using this shorthand while posting. @WCW even posted a list of all the nicknames last year I think. Perhaps her better half, @Ghostwriter, could repost that list. A new poster I can understand not knowing, but for someone who has read training reports for two years, these nicknames should be second nature I would have thought.

I luv Kossy, but the season hasn't even started and already i'm sick of this thread. I know it won't stop, so i'm opting out for my own sanity.

Might not do his confidence a lot of good.

Most of us would beg to differ….

Hopefully you left a word out of that “bolded” sentence Durango!
